Abstract
The new coordinate-tracking detector based on drift chambers (CTUDC) is created in MEPhI. The detector represents two planes with total area of 30 m2 placed on the opposite sides of Cherenkov water detector of 2000 m3 volume. Each plane consists of 8 large multiwire drift chambers (4000x508x112 mm3). The key advantages of these chambers are a large effective area (1.85 m2) and a good coordinate and angular resolution with a small number of measuring channels. From the beginning of 2017, CTUDC operates as a part of the experimental complex NEVOD. The detector is designed for measuring of high density muon bundles (up to 10 particles per m2) at zenith angles in the range from 30° to 90°. The results of the CTUDC operation during the last year are given, the first distributions of the events in zenith angle, muon bundle multiplicity and density obtained from the detector data are discussed.
